Following these guides you should wind up with a large TiVo
(85 - 340 hrs) in about 1-2 hours. These instructions function for all
U.S. and U.K. makes/models/series of standalone TiVo's and DirecTV/TiVo combo
units (referred to as DirecTiVo's for this document) and are 11 step upgrade
programs from purchase to celebration. Remember, you are hacking your TiVo and
there are no guarantees of the utilities or instructions provided. For those wanting an effortless upgrade, there are Upgrade Kits available for simple drop-in install (no PC needed – all software is pre-loaded and tested – just drop-in the new drive) to increase your recording capacity within minutes.

The How-To documentation and utilities
provided here encompass the most current and tested TiVo upgrade methods
available to date. The documentation is kept current on a daily basis and
provides instruction for upgrading any TiVo currently available.

For those uncomfortable using the
How-To's, having difficulty, or not wishing to do the upgrade themselves:
Upgrade Service and Kits are available with no PC required. You can order a
pre-configured Upgrade Kit for your model TiVo that you simply plug-in to
expand recording capacity within minutes or you can ship your unit for Full
Upgrade service. Recovery/repair for failing units or failed upgrades is also
available. We now have replacement TiVo Fans and replacement TiVo Remote Controls for most TiVo models (all brands).

For those looking to acquire a new TiVo with extra capacity already installed, we are now offering these units. We also offer stock TiVo DVRs direct from the factory with no capacity upgrade, either for use with self-install kits (see above) or for use with secondary televisions. Three models of TiVos are in stock for same day or next business day shipping.

The How-To documentation and utilities provided here
have been subjected to thorough testing and review by thousands of upgraders
with success. However, the utilities and documentation in this How-To are not
kept up-to-date with most current utilities and limits upgrade options for some
upgrade configurations.
